REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!! Today is an important date in history to me as well, as I spent the first few years of my lifein Texas. May the Alamo forever shine as a monument to Men and their love of Freedon and Independence... and to what lengths and scarafice we will go to to preserve it. It was a beautiful sunrise this morning here in West Virginia, and I hope the men of the Alamo got to enjoy one just as beautiful to have something to remember on their journey across the river....

We have now shifted to a web-only format, after not publishing at all for three years. The articles marked "new" are previously-unpublished, or what some publications call "net exclusives".

It was a special moment, being invited by the Daughters of The Republic of Texas. I frequent the Alamo yearly, feel tho as I step back in time everytime I enter the doors of the Mission.

The Mexican army was armed mostly with Brown Bess muskets. There is also evidence that some of the Mexicans were using miquelette locked escopedas. (not at all sure of that spelling) Talk about getting some mileage out of firearms. Those escopedas were antiques.
